Alright, besides standing on my head, I cant seem to grasp how to correctly OTT measure my pumpkin. Here are two pics of it:

It's growing almost straight ontop of it's stem. I cant seem to figure out the correct way to get the side to side measurement and I am not so sure about the Circ measurement either. The end to end seems to even itself out so I think I am ok with that. Anybody got any advice?

Just measure it as if it were the right side up. Go from ground over pumpkin to other ground (in line with stem and blossom), ground over pumpkin to other ground (perpendicular to first measurement), and the circumference.

Always make sure to get the biggest of each...take 2 or 3 and use largest.

Greg, Stand on your head.........lol
I know it IZ hard to measure the sideways and upsidedowners, but Jordon beat me to it........be consistent on where you measure from and you will be able to compare measurements for growth accurately.
